The book club is off to a great start. "The Glassblower of Murano" by Marina Fiorato was a nice title to start the year off, and it was so exciting to feature Dr. Nancy G. Heller for our featured book of the month "Why a Painting is Like a Pizza." I hope you enjoyed the pizza!

The featured book for May 2013, "Modigliani: A Life," was a great way to end the book club season. Jennifer Jankauskas provided a wonderful presentation to help bring Modigliani's impressive career to life. I hope everyone is enjoying the summer break. We will resume in the fall with "The Glassblower of Murano." by Marina Fiorato.

Join us on March 6th for a conversation with Susan Vreeland, author of "The Passion of Artemisia." It should be fun!

We had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Alma H. Bond! The book sparked a lot interest in Camille Claudel's life and work. Please feel free to use this blog post to share your perspectives about the book.
